'Vocabulary of a 3-year-old': Trump trolled on Twitter for calling Manchester attacker an 'evil loser'
"The nation's English teachers bow their heads in shame," one user tweeted.
US President Donald Trump condemned the perpetrators behind the tragic Manchester Arena terror attack on Monday (22 May) by branding them "evil losers of life". The deadly suicide bombing at the Ariana Grande concert killed at least 22 people and injured scores. The Islamic State (Isis) claimed responsibility for Britain's deadliest terror attack in over a decade.
Many social media users criticised Trump's choice of words as superficial, childish and more akin to something you would likely hear in a playground than from a world leader.
"So many young, beautiful innocent people living and enjoying their lives, murdered by evil losers in life," Trump said in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. "I won't call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that's a great name.
"I will call them, from now on, losers, because that's what they are. They're losers. And we'll have more of them. But they're losers. Just remember that.
"This wicked ideology must be obliterated – and I mean completely obliterated – and the innocent life must be protected. All civilised nations must join together to protect human life and the sacred right our citizens to live in safety and in peace."
Reacting to the president's description of the attackers, one Twitter user wrote: "Donald Trump has a vocabulary of a 3-year-old," one Twitter user wrote. Another wrote: "I miss having an intelligent, articulate president instead of a middle school bully."
"This is supposed to be our leader? 'Losers' is the best he can do??? The nation's English teachers bow their heads in shame," one user tweeted.
Another tweeted: "It's depressing that Trump's vocabulary is so limited he uses the same descriptor for an annoying person on twitter and a mass murder."
23 people die in a terrorist attack & the most our president can come up with is that they're an "evil loser." Like what in the world

'Evil losers': Memo to Loser-in-Chief Trump, You're speaking to the free world, not just your dirt dumb bigot base. You're an embarassment!

I would say an "evil loser" is one who takes the safety net away from the children and most vulnerable in America. Trump's budget is this.

@CBSNews Sounds as though he is denouncing a poorly behaved little league team. He is such an embarrassment.

@ehlers5150_tom @CBSNews Does he think that calling them "losers" will embarrass them, frighten them? Despair at the stupidity and shallowness.

@CNN Wow, strong words, I'm sure he invented the term "losers"... He could call them "poopie-heads"... That would be an extremely crushing blow.
